Seattle's Rudy and the Rhetoric has a sound that they themself describe as 'Angels on PCP'. I'd add an indie feel a la Rhymesayers and a mellower Def Jux with a bass line type vocal flow. 'Blade Runner' features Rhymesayers rhyme fiend Grayskul and wouldn't have been a bad addition to the more apocalyptic El-P records. 'Lucid' has a melancholic beat with an unexpected bleepie synth melody backing the slow groove. Recommended.

Show Date:

NEWS: Def Jux CMJ Showcase Will Have Some Surprises

There will be an exciting announcement at tonight's Def Jux CMJ showcase. First of all rumor has it that El-P will be joined onstage with Len and Jus of Company Flow for a possible reunion. Also making an appearance will be Ice Cube's cousin and quirkoid West Coast artist Del Tha Funkee Homosapien. From what I hear it's 99% sure that his next album will be released on Def Jux.
